All my homies just CTRL+Z
- Right, this meme is just undo but with extra steps
  
  They probably mean redo, because that is what CTRL + SHIFT + Z and CTRL + Y commonly do.
u for undo. vi forever!
- Don't forget that Vim also keeps every tree of undo history. Wrote someone one way, wanted to try another way, and changed your mind? Switch to the other undo future! Change your mind again? Go back!
  
  And there's persistent undo, where your undo history is written a file. Quit Vim, power off your machine for 5 years, power it back on, and you can still undo!
Shouldn't it be used for redo?

I mean, yeah, of course it should be paste. But if you decide to break the established convention, isn't the next option redo, instead of undo?
- Wow, thx! TIL that you can redo stuff
Germans on English kezboards know the struggle
- I see what you did there.
My text editor uses u and U
- Helix?
  
  vim
  
  You know it.
"What did that code look like two minutes ago?"

Cmd+A

Cmd+C

Cmd+ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

"Oh, ok."

Cmd+Shift+ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
- why is this so true,,,,,
- lol, just use time travel, Vim time travel:
  :earlier 2m
  and back:
  :later 2m
  
  wait that seems really usefull is that in standart vim ?
More like Ctrl-WHYYYY?
:u
- Or just: u
vim using u and ``
Am I the only one who only knew ctrl+y? I've been used to it since forever and never used ctrl+shift+z even tough I am a keyboard shorcut fanboy...

edit: also the logic behind ctrl+shift+z totally makes sense, i'll try it everywhere now lol
Ctrl + Y shall paste, and nothing else!
Similar to how vscode uses Ctrl+shift+arrows for multi line editing but for some reason on my person computer that is hot keyed to flip the screen upside down.
Windows Explorer..
C-/ for undo. C-/ for redo. All you need.
